Wine Operations Project
Menu: Click across the green arrows to view active and completed project stages. Consultation takes place at every stage of the project.Case for change
The Australian Industry Skills Committee (AISC) issued an activity order for this project to commence, after “wine production, cellar door sales and cellar operations” was identified as a priority skill area in the 2017 Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical IRC Skills Forecast and Proposed Schedule of Work (see page 45). Skills Impact and the Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical Industry Reference Committee (IRC) will take this project through a process that adheres to the 2012 Standards for Training Package Development.
Project Plan
Project Scope
This project will review and update wine industry units of competency and qualifications to reflect changing industry skills requirements, especially in the area of technology.
Scroll down to view the list of units and qualifications that will be reviewed in this project, and the various skilled activities they cover.
The following factors will be considered in the review of these qualifications and units:
- Changes to the industry that have occurred over the last ten years
- Changes in roles, technology and anticipated changes for the next five years
- Pathways within the wine and allied supporting industries
- Other skills required beyond the wine-specific elements to support the wine industry
- An ageing workforce
- The need to provide new job entrants with suitable pathways into a wine industry career
- The need for a higher level qualification to support pathways and career progression
- The need for clear articulation of the professional standards of performance.

Validation
Thank you to those who participated in the validation process. Two rounds of validation took place for the final draft qualifications, skill sets and units of competency relating to wine operations.
The first round of validation took place between 9 – 26 February 2018. After receiving feedback from stakeholders that further changes were required to the final drafts in order to meet industry needs, Skills Impact conducted further consultation with stakeholders to revise the documents. The final drafts were revised to meet these needs, as well as the Standards for Training Package Development 2012. A stakeholder teleconference was held on 28 February; a unit survey took place between March – April; and a workshop was held in Adelaide on 12 April, with 15 participants from industry and training providers, to resolve some of the issues arising from the validation. The documents were then published on this webpage for a second round of broad validation (between 6 April – 10 May 2018).
The final drafts will shortly progress through to the Finalisation stage of the project, which includes quality assurance of the documents and review and feedback from the State/Territory Training Authorities, before the final drafts are forwarded to the Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical Industry Reference Committee (IRC) for consideration and sign off. They will then be submitted to the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) to consider and approve for publication on training.gov.au.
To view the final draft qualifications, skill sets and units that were made available for industry feedback and comment in the first round of validation, click here. Listed below are the final draft qualifications, skill sets and units that were available in the second round of validation.
A summary of the feedback received during the first validation round (from 9 – 26 February 2018) and a description of its consideration and application in the revised drafts can also be downloaded below.
Validation means checking and confirming that the documents are logical and factually accurate.
Stakeholder views were sought on whether the revised qualifications and the related skill sets and units reflect the current occupational skill standards and needs of industry.

Units Proposed for Deletion
It is proposed to delete the existing FDF Laboratory units (coded FDFLAB) as these units duplicate the outcomes of units available in the MSL Laboratory Operations Training Package. Consultation with wine industry stakeholders supports the deletion of the FDFLAB units and their replacement in the Wine Operations qualifications, as these stakeholders consider the MSL units to be of a better quality and better suited to laboratory work in the wine industry.

Finalisation
On the 12 September 2018, the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) approved the Case for Endorsement for the updated and revised qualifications, skill sets and units of competency, along with a Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
The final qualifications, skill sets and units of competency are now published on training.gov.au, which means they are available for use by registered training organisations (RTOs). They are published within the FBP Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical Training Package Version 2 (published on 18/12/2018). Click here to view the training package.
This project reviewed wine industry qualifications and units of competency to reflect changing industry skills requirements, especially in the area of technology.
What does this mean for training providers?
Registered training organisations (RTOs) may now apply to have the updated qualifications, skill sets and units added to their scope of registration. RTOs who already have the qualifications, skill sets and units that have been updated as part of this endorsement have 12 months to transition to deliver the updated qualifications, skill sets and units, from the date of publication. For more information, visit the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) website.
A Companion Volume Implementation Guide has also been produced to help training providers implement the new and revised qualifications, skill sets and units. It can be downloaded from VETNet.com.
Summary of consultation
Eight Subject Matter Expert workshops and site visits were undertaken to seek advice from a broad range of wine industry stakeholders. This advice was used to draft revised qualifications, skill sets and units that were available for broad industry feedback in late 2017. Most of the feedback on the validation draft materials highlighted concerns from stakeholders that the removal of units that reflect AQF level 2 would reduce the number of elective choices in each of the specialist streams. Skills Impact conducted further consultation during a stakeholder teleconference on 27 February 2018 where it became clear that some of the existing wine operations units that reflect AQF level 2 could be redesigned to reflect AQF level 3 and listed as electives in the various specialist streams. Wine industry stakeholders also requested the project be extended to undertake the qualification and unit redesign work necessary and gain stakeholder support for these products. A two month extension of was granted by the Department of Education and Training (DET) and this enabled Skills Impact to conduct further stakeholder consultations via a unit of competency survey, a workshop in Adelaide, as well other consultations via email and telephone. The revised products, including a Certificate III that aligns with the AQF, were made available for a second validation period in April and May.
Summary of project outcomes
- 2 revised qualifications in wine operations
- 106 units of competency
- 15 skill sets
- Proposed deletion of 13 skill sets and 24 units of competency
Case for Endorsement
Please see the Case for Endorsement for more information about the work that was undertaken and why:
Download the FBP Version 2 Case for Endorsement
Note that qualifications, skill sets and units developed out of the following projects were also approved as part of this Case for Endorsement:
- Food Science and Technology
- Food and Beverage Manufacturing – Cross Sector
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Standards
Components related to sugar processing were also included in the Case for Endorsement. Initial work on these sugar qualifications and units was undertaken as part of FBP Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical Training Package Version 1. However, to ensure the sugar qualifications and units were compliant and met industry needs, they were not submitted at that time. Instead, additional targeted consultation was held with key stakeholders to further review the sugar qualifications and units to address changes to licensing and legislation requirements around boiler operations, and review and to update qualifications to support current practices for multi-skilled sugar processing workers.
